rnote VS linux-surface

I mostly use Obsidian, but I do keep coming back to Zim for quickly jotting things down. It's fast and keyboard-oriented, but also includes most functionality under a WYSIWYG menu (unlike Obsidian). It's nice, if you like that fresh Free Software feel without the web technology crammed in.

Also worth mentioning is Rnote, more oriented towards handwriting and feels closer to OneNote: https://github.com/flxzt/rnote

Give rnote a shot.

You can use Rnote too: https://github.com/flxzt/rnote

I'm using Rnote which focuses on handwritten notes but also can do typed text and many other things. It is available for Windows and Linux: https://github.com/flxzt/rnote

Rnote perhaps? https://rnote.flxzt.net/

RNote itself does support ARM, see answer from the developer, but apparently crostini doesn't support Stylus, which is a deal breaker...

Something like Rnote?

Apart from camera, almost everything is working correctly. Camera doesn't work at all.

I use this kernel, you can use this with most operating systems.

I use xournal++ for note writing, and using GNOME is necessary. KDE doesn't have support for screen rotation etc. When you use GNOME, make sure to disable gestures and screen edge detection, because that might occasionally cause problems.

So, the workflow is quite simple with xournal++, you run a `inotify` based watched which automatically compiles and pushes stuff on every save. I of course assume that only `xournal++` on tab can change those handwritten notes. You can get some fancier git logic if needed.

```

while inotifywait -e modify,create,delete,move $INPUT;

There's support for Linux on the Surface range:

But actual users seem to say it's a bit of a mixed bag.

If someone's looking for a laptop (that doesn't need touchscreen support), then Apple laptops are probably the better choice.

How to get out of this situation? Links https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/issues/1240 - the same problem as I have and the same puncture, but the person managed to get out of the situation https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceLinux/comments/16d40vs/kill_my_surface_pro_2017_need_help/ - my similar post in a nearby subreddit, but since I'm here, the problem turned out to be bigger than I thought

Should have you covered.

I went the 12” MacBook route which can also install Linux.

I have a surface with Ubuntu and the Surface Kernel (https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface) , and it works really wonderfully. I will say, before installing the Surface Kernel, it was very janky.

I know about https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface but I'm looking for practical feedback from people who did the operation in order to orient my choice.
